THE DEFENDANT DISCHARGED.
GYMNASTIC MEMORIZING.
Yale Noodles Who Expect to Learn the
Bible by Heart


When the fifty theological students now
studying the new system of memorizing
begin preaching they Will be able to remem1
Der everything from Genesis to Revelation,
and talk two hours on stretch without
any sign of notes, if Prof. Loizettes method
is as good as he claims. At all events, he
has built fortune by teaching it, and has
been Endorsed by some of the leading men
of Oxford University, England. Professor
Harper of the Theological School has in
yestgated the matter, and saws that the
system is logical, philosophical and practi-
CAL and has proved of great benefit to him
in his studies, although he has mastered
only one sixth OF the course of study. The
whole course is comprised in six pamph-
lets, and the ordinary man can master it in
about SIX weeks, giving an hour q dav to it.
Prof. Brastow has also been interested it it.
Each pupil IS required to give bonds that
he will not teach the system
Prof. Harpers amanuensis, Mr. White,
has invented system, details of which are
not yet entirely worked cut, but which has
been successfully used. Most wonderful
feats can be performed by adopts in this
style of mental gymnastics, such as re-
peatlng 400 unconnected words, calling by
name every one in gathering of 500 or 600
people who have been rapidly introduced,
etc. Mark Twain, whose memory has al
ways been poor, took few lessons, and
succeeded in Inemorizing three columns of
a New York paper while riding from New
York to Hartford. He says it will make a
man remember anything except to pay his
debts. Already over fifty theologues have
invested $40 each, and the course will be-
gin some time this week. Prof. Loizette
allows committee to fill in 400 squares
q rr-irh
four figures each. Then: he is blindfo.ded,
the figures are read to him once, and he is
able to repeat them forward or backward,
to tell the number in any square. and to
tell the square if the number in it is told

MIR. BISHOPS PLAN.

Joseph B. Bishop, in March, addressed
the Commonwealth Club, of New York,
upon Money in City Elections" He
proposals do all the essayists upon the
topic-a remedy, after calling names and
giving proofs and setting forth wildly the
evils of the use of money in municipal
politics, and notably in New York. His
specific, while differing from that of Mr..
Roosevelt and of David Dudley Field and
that Of James Parton, and the latest, that
of Amos Fiske, embraces features of the
plans proposed by each of those gentle
men. For corruption and bribery in cleo
tions, he would have all ballots printed by
the city and distributed at its expense.
He would limit by law the expenditures
of all candidates, and compel public ac-
counting for all their OUTLAWS of money in
political work. Finally, he would have
law passed similar to the English Cor
rupt Practices Act" forbidding bribery
and undue influences of all kinds and fix
ing penalties.
So far as he goes, he does well; but Mr..
Bishop never can work reform by legis-
lation. There is no municipal salvation
to be secured by such device. He must
begin with the party caucus and primary
if he expects to accomplish any practical
reform. 1t is we'll enough to demand the
passage of laws which will prevent the i'm
proper use of money in elections, but until
the bosses and heelers and strikers are
throttled in caucus and primary, such
legislation as is asked for can be scarcely
hoped for. There are rare times, at long
intervals, however, when, in a fit of in
dignation, the people rise superior to the
bosses and return Legislatures that will yield
to public opinion. At such a time cleo
ton reforms should be proposed In the
meanwhile those who believe in making
bossism odious must be content to labor in
cultivating moral sentiment antagonistic
to it. When that is sufficiently strong,
reform will be easy, for men who now neg
lect their duty will then be active in the
genesis of government-the town meeting,
the caucus and the primary. When Mr..
Bishop exclaimed to the Commonwealth
Club, IF the intelligence and respecta-
bility of the city will not do the work,
then they must provide to have it done by
legal machinery" he acclaimed only, and,
as for reasoning, he reasoned in a circle !;
for when intelligence and respectability
are able to provide for having the work
done by legal machinery, it will be, prac-
tically, " done" already.

A GUARD FOR THE NUTTKRY.-A Connec-
ticut farmer, who owns a fine grove Of
Shellbark hickories, has found it very diff
cult to secure the nuts, owing TO the num-
Der of lawless visitors who every autumn,
as soon as the crop begins to fall, persist in
taking hand in gathering it. The owner of
this choice nut-orchard, having tried vari-
Gus expedients for saving the nuts for his
own use, without avail, at last hit upon the
rather novel plan of turning his old bull
into that pasture lot as soon as the nuts be-
gan TO fall in the autumn. He reports the
plan perfect success, as the old bull is up
bright and early in the morning, and
remains on guard until late in the even
ing. Whenever the farmers family wish
to pick up nuts in the pasture, the old
guard is taken to the stable, to be turned
out again when the fallen nuts are gath
cred. n. B.-This mode of protecting the
nut-tree is not patented.
